Impacts on regional air quality and human health Georgia Institute of Technology

  3. Previous Studies • Changes in future climate are predicted to negatively impact O3 air quality (Hogrefe, et al., 2004; Leung and Gustafson, 2005; Mickley, et al., 2004; Murazaki and Hess, 2006, etc.). • 4.2 ppb increases in summertime ozone concentrations in 2050s based on the IPCC A2 scenario (Hogrefe, et al., 2004). • 12 additional days in the northeastern U.S. each year ozone will exceed 0.08 ppm in the decade 2090s compared with 1990s based on the IPCC A1 scenario (Murazaki and Hess, 2006). Georgia Institute of Technology

  4. Important Air Pollutants • Ozone (O3)- precursors: NOx, VOCs, etc. • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) • Sulfur dioxide (SO2) • Particulate matter (PM) – PM2.5(particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 micrometers)-precursors: SO2, NOx, NH3, VOCs, etc. • Carbon monoxide (CO) • Lead Pollutants of interest Georgia Institute of Technology

  14.

  15. Number of Days with Positive and Negative Sensitivities of Daily Max. 8-hr O3 to NOx Emissions Note: The first seven days of each year are excluded to minimize the impacts of initial concentrations, leaving 359 days for analysis Liao et. al, 2008 Georgia Institute of Technology

  16. Sensitivities of Sulfate and Nitrate to Ammonia Emissions- Atlanta City center (1% changes in emissions) Y-axis: Sensitivity of sulfate to ammoniaX-axis: Sensitivity of nitrate to ammonia Liao, et al., 2008 Georgia Institute of Technology

  17. Conclusions • Controls of NOx emissions reduce PM2.5 but may increase daily maximum ozone levels for cities examined. • Planned controls on anthropogenic NOx emissions lead to more positive responses to urban ozone reductions in the future. • Overall, the sensitivities of (NH4)2SO4 to NH3 increase, a finding that is opposite of the one for NH4NO3. • Complexities in policy-making due to trade-offs between reductions in daily maximum 8-hr ozone and daily-average PM2.5 are predicted to decrease.
